Coming off having read Wide Sargasso Sea, I thought it might be fitting to talk about some of the more prominent prequels in literature. I&#8217;ve got to admit: I&#8217;m a little leery of prequels. I think George Lucas might have ruined them for [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=101books.net&#038;blog=15516641&#038;post=7640&#038;subd=onehundredonebooks&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

I&#8217;m a 36-year-old white guy in Tennessee. I&#8217;ve never been to Nigeria, much less the Nigeria of the late 19th Century. So it&#8217;s really a testament to Chinua Achebe&#8217;s writing and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=101books.net&#038;blog=15516641&#038;post=7756&#038;subd=onehundredonebooks&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
